Hair She Goes! Why Is this Image of Beyonce on Local News?


Beyonce_458

That is right — “Local News.”  Woke up this morning to local news anchors flashing the above photo of Beyonce all throughout news cast only to find they were questioning the singer’s skin tone.  To my utter surprise, the anchor chimed in that to him Beyonce looked “Lindsey Lohan white?” Wt?? was I watching.

I figured if this was the top news of the day then it was safe to get out of bed.  Nevermind that in my city and another they are dragging lakes for missing Black women.  Beyonce has new drama so let’s stop the presses. 

Of course with tablet in hand and browsing the morning conversation in social media, there the picture was again.  While the news anchors debated if the change in hue on Beyonce was due to her desire to be something else or simply camera lighting, I was stuck trying to figure out if it was even Beyonce at all.  At first glance, I thought it was Rihanna. Still can’t tell the difference. Can you?

Did the photo cause a buzz in your circle?

    I guess they’ve never knew Beyonce has been light-skinned her whole life. She can even show them a baby picture that shows that. Black people tan and are affected by camera lighting like everyone else. The ignorance towards black people continues, like against noone else.

    I think it’s media propaganda. You notice how whites and every other ethnic group can be darker and lighter in pics. Nobody makes a big deal about it. Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, etc..nobody says anything. Frieda Pinto is about the only other one that they’ve said a little something about. I’ve only heard it brought about her once although her coloring still vary sometimes in pics. But they don’t ride her like they do Beyonce. It’s definitely more targeted towards black celebrities than anyone else. As a black chick that has had pics where I look totally washed out because of a camera flash, had tan lines and sunburn. I find it really suspicious that some people try to make it an issue for us. Even these so-called “urban” blogs because this is where this crap started. Sometimes I like our these really ran by us and if so who is actually paying the bills.
